Deadline to turn in fundraiser/donations is Monday, September 29. Please bring your form to Mrs. Curtice. Remember if your student is in a Junior Varsity, Varsity or Competition Math Class or if your student plans to go to any math competitions this year, he or she should participate in the fundraiser/donation for the club. There is an account for each student and what he/she raises or contributes is a positive for that student. Otherwise, when there is a need for a bus, etc, a fee will have to be paid.
DEADLINE to REGISTER for the First Math Counts Competition is Monday, September 29. All grades are welcome to register. Pick up a form outside Mrs. Hitchcock’s room or Mrs. Curtice’s room or visit our website www.raidermath.weebly.com to download a registration form. PLEASE return the form to Mrs. Curtice so she can register all the students at one time from QVMS. HELP NEEDED! – October 11, Math Counts Competition at QVMS We will be sending out a signup genius for our first competition. We will need 3-4 parents to check in students (7:30-8:45) , 4-6 parents to work the concession stand from ( 8:30-noon) and parents to monitor and pass our materials during the test (5-8) and then parents to score (as many as possible). Please check your availability and hopefully find an hour or two to help. MATH CLUB NEWS Junior Varsity I (Monday) – will meet from 4:15 to 5:30 with Mrs. Curtice – bring your snack or money for a snack. We are learning the number sense rules and will look at the Math Counts testing format. Junior Varsity II (Tuesday ) – will NOT meet this coming week. Plan to come October 7. A huge thank you to Ms. Biddle for offering her time and help on Tuesdays. Wednesday, Varsity I and II – will meet this week. Varsity II is open to all 7th and 8th graders who want to improve their TMSCA Math skills. We are fortunate to have a dad teaching with us. Mr. Shui has analyzed several of the general math tests and have found common problem types that he is teaching to the students. If the students will go home and practice these, their scores are guaranteed to improve. Junior Varsity III (Thursday) – will meet from 4:15 to 5:30 with Mrs. Curtice – bring your snack or money for a snack. We are learning the number sense rules and will look at Math Counts testing format. Middle School and High School Volunteers – Ms. Curtice would like to acknowledge the former GT Academy students who are coming on our club days to help our current math club members. These students offer one-on one help with number sense, general math and more. Yes volunteer hours are available. TMSCA Competitions – Clements has announced that they will NOT be hosting a competition this fall. So currently it looks like mid-November before we attend a TMSCA meet at Elkins and Dulles High Schools unless Mrs. Curtice can find one earlier. Last year, Atascocita hosted one, but that is not confirmed for 2014. Look for more information on that. RAIDERMATH SHIRTS – COMING SOON!!! As soon as all the fundraiser /donation forms are turned in, Mrs. Curtice will send home forms to order a Raidermath Shirt. This shirt must be worn at all competitions and any time at QVMS. It is the same shirt that our club has had, so if your last year’s shirt still fits, you are ready to go. If not, you will be able to order a new one. We will put this info on the website. Mrs. Curtice is working to get a distribution email for everyone, but the easiest way now to communicate is to access our website: www.raidermath.weebly.com. Any suggestions or questions, please email Mrs. Curtice. Comments are closed.
